Teacher of Physics

Required for September 2026

We are a school that values diversity and individual contribution, supporting and encouraging staff to pursue their interests and achieve their ambitions. We are seeking an outstanding Physics teacher, whether newly qualified or more experienced, to join a school where Physics is an exciting, popular subject. You should be capable of teaching at all levels and be keen to advance the standing of an already strong department and to play an active role in the academic and extra-curricular life of a lively, positive and high achieving school. It would be an advantage to be able to offer a second science subject. This is a full-time permanent contract and offers:

An exciting time of curriculum reform (Latymer is replacing most GCSEs with internally designed and assessed courses from 2027);
Significant support for professional development (such as part-funding available for further study, and two periods a fortnight devoted to professional development).
Commitment to developing female Physicists: Currently, over 33% of the A-level cohort are female and the ambition is to keep working on this until it reaches 50%.
High-attaining students: During the last set of public exams in Summer 2024, 92% of IGCSE candidates scored an 8/9, and at A level, an average of 82% of pupils achieve A*/A.
A supportive departmental environment.

Diversity – The School is fully committed to the principles of equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion. We have an established and representative staff Equality and Diversity Board to help drive forward positive change. A further Equality and Diversity Committee has recently been formed from our student population. We are committed to attracting and retaining the very best staff, ensuring that our staff body reflects the diversity of our students and local community. Acknowledging a lack of ethnic diversity within our staff community, we particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates for this role. All appointments will be made on merit, following a fair and transparent process. In line with the Equality Act 2010, however, the School may employ positive action where diverse candidates can demonstrate their ability to perform the role equally well.

To find out more about the school and our attractive staff benefits package, including an onsite gym, free lunch, multi-faith room, library and the possibility of on-site accommodation, please visit our website and view the section “Join our Team”.

We will be shortlisting and interviewing as applications come in so early applications are advised. Candidates on a term’s notice maybe interviewed week commencing 23 March or after the Easter break. Please note, we may appoint before the closing date.

Closing date: 9am on Wednesday, 22 April 2026

Interviews will take place on Wednesday, 29 April 2026

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All posts are subject to an enhanced DBS check, online checks and receipt of two satisfactory references
